Just moved to Whitby, ON from Baltimore, MD. Interested in learning more about local camera shops, places to print photos, etc.

New to Canada, New to Digital Scrapping. Love Both.

While I'm not familiar with Ontario camera shops, I am familiar with DSP -- this is a great place to learn about digital scrapbooking! Check the gallery and see thousands of layouts for ideas -- check out the forums and calendar for challenges and learning adventures -- at the top of the page are tutorials -- a great place to go for beginners and advanced users -- there are tutorials for many software brands and help for scrapbooking. Be sure to post here in the forums should you have a question -- and hopefully there will be someone who knows about Ontario to help you out! Welcome to DSP!

Hi there, I hope you enjoy Canada! I just left my home there this year to move to the US. I lived around Niagara Falls, ON. Have you tried searching online for shops in your area?

Welcome to Beautiful Ontario! I am in Brantford, 1/2 hour south of Hamilton.

As for printing photos?? I love Blacks Photography!! You can order your Digital prints on line and then head in to pick them up. The colors are awesome!! You can purchase a member card for 19.99 a year, which gives you 25% off.

Hi Suzanne. I am about an hour and a bit north of you. I have had really good luck with getting my photos printed at Costco.

Hi Suzanne - I am in Burlington, Ontario and I agree with Jan. I have had great luck with Costco.

Hi. I currently live in Oakville, but I used to live in Whitby (well, technically in Brooklin) and my parents still live there. I am new to digital scrapbooking, but I have been doing "regular" scrapbooking for a couple years.

For printing pictures, I would have to agree with Costco, although the closest one is in Ajax (on Highway 2). Black's does a good job, but they are significantly more expensive. I've had good luck with Future Shop (you can order online and pick up at the store -- it's off Thickson south of the 401). Avoid Walmart -- I printed a couple pictures there and they were awful.

If I remember correctly, neither of the scrapbooking stores in the area do printing (Family Preserves at Hwy 2 & Hwy 12, and Scrapbook Emporium on Taunton in Oshawa).
